Absolutely. And with the cartoony nature of the graphics in this series, they look of the game wouldn't have to be much better than it is in the XBLA game we have now. Maybe improve the faces so more players are represented, that's about it. I'd be more interested to see what they could do with a truly next-gen Life mode. I think it'd be like nothing else out there.

Still, at the end of the day, I'm really enjoying this game. Finding a sweet spot for me as far as difficulty goes too. Getting competitive, low-scoring games.

I would cry if they released a regular updated full mlb power pros on one of the new systems. Heck, I'd even go out and get a ps3 if that was all it was for. I absolutely love the series. Although I am not a fan of the bobbleheads, and limited nature of the game at this point (although when it expands I'll surely give it a longer look). I'm just going to continue to enjoy MLB PP 2008, got so many hours in that game.

Glad to see there's a lot of positive reviews about this game, it was always really good (IMO) but it seems like more people are experiencing it now. There's plenty of fun to be had with this series.

i had to bump the cpu batting level up to Pro, they were not producing on the 2 levels below.

first 2 games after the bump, they were up 4-2 in btm of 8th, i hit a 3 run homer with 2 outs to take a 5-4 lead and hold on. next game i lost 8-0 lol.

i been using the below..

CPU Batting - Pro
CPU Base running - Legend (maybe a bit to aggressive at times, i may try all star)
CPU Pitching - Legend (i dont notice a difference from say pro/allstar to this level)
CPU Fielding - Legend (this may get bumped to all star bc seems like they cut balls off that they shouldnt in the gaps etc)

i also been using the "low assist" batting for myself and normal pitch speed. seems like combined with the legend pitching, normal is just fine. although if you are using anything below that, then fast pitch is needed IMO.

How do you turn off the bobble for the bobbleheads ?

[jyoung]

Go to the options screen on the main menu to turn off the bobble effect.

I'm definitely going to up the CPU batting to pro now that I've got my pitching down pretty solid. The CPU hasn't scored more than 3 runs on me in a while.

[Fiddy]

it gets frustrating at times with the CPU on Pro batting, just seems they find the holes automatically at times.. i may need to bring in a new pitcher earlier as well, so some of that could be blamed on me.

[jyoung]

I'm getting some pretty good games on "Pro" CPU hitting.

Just lost 6 - 5 to the Astros.

I had plenty of opportunities to knock in the tying run a few times but choked with runners in scoring position during "key moment" cut-scenes.

I've played long enough into season mode now where some of my players are finally starting to level up. That's really all there is to shoot for in this mode aside from stats.

[Kane182]

Are there any kind of retirements at the end of the season or a draft? Seems kind of weird that guys could keep leveling up without any new talent coming in. Then again, if season mode is only 5 seasons it doesn't really matter much I suppose.
